Gysum city came to the front the
foarth as one Of the resorts for the
national holiday celebration, and
early in the morning wagons bug
gies, and all sorts Of conveysnees
could be seen making their way up
and down the beautiful valley Of the
Gypsum towards the enteFpfising
center Of trade for that country,
which is rapidly assuming sn air OF
prosperity and progress. Excursion
trains were met by bands Of music,
and at about II O'Clock the process
ion started for Island Grove, and
there was one continual stream Of
vehicles that occupied two hours In
passing q given point. Flags foated
from every hOusetoP; in the center
Of town were large arches with
Welcome" In prominent letters,
displayed on each front, and the lit
tie city altogether looked very In
viting.
After all were finally settled in the
grove the assemblage was called to-
order by J. Wayne Amos, and q
prayer offered by Rev. RObt. COeh-
ran, after which c. s. Martin read
the Declaration Of Independence.
Then the basket dinner was in Jr-
der, and scattered through this
beautiful grove were fully i've
thousand people, gathered in family
groups. and enjoying themselves as
only American citizens are permit
ted. The committee Of arrange
ments deserve credit for having
everything 50 nicely planned, 90
that no one suffered for the want Of
refreshments.
After dinner Rev. Priest was in
trOduced and delivered an excellent
address, taking for his subject,
"Elements Of National Prosper
ity." He was followed by J.
Wayne Amos, on "Why We Cele-
brate." He brought fresh 10 the
minds Of all the reasons for these
yearly gatherings, and why they
should be PerPetuated. Short ad-
dresses, intersParsed with music
from the Gypsum City glee club, and
brass bands, followed, after which
the crowd circulated through the
grove end enjoyed themselves as
best they could.
There were plenty Of amusements
on the ground for the entertainment
Of all classes-the flying dutehman,
wheel Of fortune, platform dance,
lemonade and ice cream stands, ETC.,
so that no one went away dissatis-
fled for the lack Of an opportunity to
enjoy themselves.
The shooting match held an inter
ested portion Of the crowd, and was
conducted In an open field between
the city and the grove. The event
Of the forenoon was the contest be-
tween T. J. Edworthy aud Thomas
Robertson, Of Solomon. They shot
at twenty-five live birds, twenty-one
yards Mr.. Robertson killed 20, and
Edworthy Is. At p. m. the team
contest was begun. Abilene won
the purse Of t25 with g score Of 50
out Of 40. The score Of the team
shoot was as follows:

Soon after dinner Monday when
the suns rays were most powerful
and not a breath Of air stirring three
hOrsemen might have been seen
urging iaded Texas ponies to an in
creased speed towards the little
city nestled in the valley Of Gypsum,
where pleasurs untold were suppOs-
ed to lurk meath shaded bowers.
The attitude Of the riders indicated
that they had travelled many a weary
mile, and that a trip commenced
with great expectations, had length
ened out until it had ceased to be
surrounded only with Joy and re-
creation. A closer inspection Of the
pleasure 90 party disclosed them to
be two prominent, Salina merchants,
and their devoted clerk. Late in
the evening their return was noted
at different intervals and while
most Of the party are in compare
lively good health, we learn with
regret one Of their members will
not engage in active duty for some
time.

SALIVA


Sweepstakes shooting were indulg-
ed in morning and afternoon, In
which Salina brought her share Of
the spoils home. The snOoting was
good, and was no small feature Of
tie program.
The celebration was carried way
into the night, brilliant fire works
and dance In the city hall being
the main features. The citizens Of
Gypsum City did well in taking
care Of such an immense gathering,
and for conducting 1t with such
good management, avoiding acci-
dents and dissgreeable features that
sometimes predominant at large
gatherings. AS q town Gypsum is
improving, and her steadfast people
who have stood by her from the very
first, are beginning to have their
hopes realized, and point with pride
to what strides she has made against
stern opposition.
